Bloody Love

It was 3:00 in the morning, after a long night of drinking, I heard a knock at my door.  I groaned and walked up to the door, "Who is it?" I yelled, trying to open the door.  I finally opened it up when Caroline Forbes, my best friend since kindergarten stood on my porch with a box of belongings. "Care.. What are you doing here, it's 3:15, don't you want your beauty sleep?" We both laughed, "Y/N, it's been 3 weeks since you and Stefan broke up.  None of us have seen you since, I miss you, Bonnie misses you, Elena too!" I sigh, "I know, I just feel shocked that it happened, you know?  We almost got engaged and then, out of nowhere, he cheated on me and then broke up with me!" I start to cry and Caroline walks in and guides me to the couch in my living room, jumping over all of the drained bodies I had previously feasted on.  "Y/N, you deserve so much better, I don't think Mystic Falls is the right place for you right now." I laughed thinking she was being sarcastic, "Care, I never knew you were so funny!" She frowned a bit and then I released she wasn't being sarcastic, "But how could I leave this place behind, I was born here, we were born here! I've gone to school here my whole life. I found out about vampires, werewolves, and witches here too. Caroline, I was turned here! But I-" Caroline interrupted as quickly as she could, "Y/N, I know your life is here, but you can't live like this, you've been drinking all the time and you haven't been sober in so long. You need a break from reality and all of this." I understand what Caroline means, I can't live like this, I reek of the smell of alcohol and have killed almost 80 people in the past few days.  I frowned at Caroline, "But if I were to leave, where could I possibly even go, I don't have a house?" Caroline tried to look as understanding as she could, "I know this guy, he surely is something. I think you'd both get along, you have the same mentality." I grinned, wiping away my tears, "And who is this guy, may I ask?" Caroline looked at me in my eyes, "I guess we'll see if you can find out: He's an original, he lives in New Orleans, nice accent, extremely attractive.." I have a vague picture in mind, "I think I know who you're talking about.." Caroline looks as if a light went on in her head, "Well, how about we sleep on it and in the morning, if you feel up to it, you drive up to New Orleans and give it a shot?"  I smile as nicely as I could, "I guess we will."

The Next Morning

"Well good morning, sleepyhead!" Caroline said happily. I groan, "Can I have five more minutes?" Caroline laughs, "No, you've got to get up! I made you breakfast and you have a big day ahead of you!" I roll my eyes as I pull the sheets over my head and push my pillow against my face and scream into it as loud as I could.  I listened to Caroline as she singed in the kitchen as she set the table. I grabbed my outfit for the day and then I walked to the bathroom and washed my face and brushed my teeth. I changed out of my pajamas and then walked downstairs.  "So.... Y/N, have you decided if you wanted to go to New Orleans?" My heart drops, I forgot that I even had that option so without thinking I scream out, "Yeah, sure!" I immediately slap my hand across my mouth as I realized what I just said, "Okay, I guess we'll start packing after breakfast!" Caroline smiled. For breakfast we had blueberry pancakes, they were delicious as usual.  We both started walking upstairs to my bedroom as we heard a knock on the door, Caroline then smiled excitedly as a wide grin appeared on her face, "I'll go get that!" I think Caroline forgot that I have amazing hearing ever since I became a vampire, I heard everything she said once she got downstairs even including, "Oh my god, Bonnie! Elena, hi! Y/n doesn't know you guys are coming!" I laughed and then walked downstairs, it had only been five minutes since they knocked at the door and there were so many balloons everywhere. "3...2...1!" Caroline whispered followed by, "Surprise!" screamed Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline.  I screamed as I walked into the living room where they were stationed, "What's the occasion? Did I miss someone's birthday?" All of us laughed, "No, silly! You're leaving to New Orleans, of course we're going to give you a going away party!" Caroline was always one to have everything planned out and to have parties for everything.  I'm surprised she planned this out in 30 minutes.  We all took a shot or two and laughed and gossiped.  We were all having a blast, it was the most fun I had in a while. Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline followed me upstairs to pack my bags. They walked into my closet and gasped, "You have such amazing clothes, I want some!" I laughed, "Take whatever you want, I can always compel more." They grabbed a few items and then helped me pack an embarrassing amount of clothes. "So, you have to pack a few scandalous outfits!" Elena giggled, "Who is there to impress?" I replied. Bonnie and Caroline then replied quickly, "There are so many attractive people in New Orleans, who knows, you might find someone cute!" I laughed, "Sure.." Elena shoved a few dresses that I never wore into my bag just incase I needed them. An hour or two later, we were ready to go. Caroline had a list of things I need to bring:
"Blood Bags?"
"Check!"
"Pictures of us?"
"Check!"
"Your Daylight ring?"
"Of course I have it!"
"Clothes?"
"Yes!"
"Makeup and toiletries?"
"Check!"
"Extra Gas?"
"Check!"
"And lastly, Vervain and wolfsbane?"
"Check and Check!"
"We're all going to miss you, Y/n! Come visit!" Elena, Bonnie, and Care cried.  We all started to cry a bit, I was going to miss them a lot, they're my best friends. I hugged them all one last time and walked out the door and made my way to my car.  I unlocked the door and grabbed my phone and looked at my texts with Caroline to find the address.  Suddenly, I heard something on the top of my car. I froze, got out, and looked up on the roof, it was Stefan. I got right back into my car and thought to myself, "Why is he here?" He said calmly, "Y/n, come out of the car.  I just wanted to say bye." I frowned, now he wants to talk to me? He wouldn't say a bloody thing to me when he broke up to me! I looked at him, "No! What do you want from me? You cheated on me, made me hate myself, made me cry every night, and you wouldn't even talk to me!" He wiped a tear coming off of his face as he saw me walk out of the car. "Y/n, I'm sorry, I can't make any excuse and I can't take back what I did, I'm so sorry." I started to cry, "Well there's not much we can do now, I'm leaving Mystic Falls for the better, it's time to say goodbye and move on." He sighed and walked towards me for a hug, I gave in and gave him a small hug and then got and my car and started driving. I looked at the address Caroline sent me and put it in my GPS. "I have to drive all the way to the French Quarter, what has my life brought me to?" I thought out loud. I drove for about three hours when the light on my phone almost blinded me, Caroline called me, and it was 9:30 pm. "Hey, Care!" I said exhaustedly, "Hey, Y/n, we miss you so much!" I smiled, "I miss you all too! I promise I'll come visit once I get settled in!" somehow our conversation lasted another thirty minutes when suddenly my phone died, "Shit!" I yelled, "How the hell am I supposed to get the bloody French Quarter with a dead phone?" I saw red and blue lights flash behind me, great the cops pulled me over. "Hello, ma'am. It appears you're lost?" I look up at the cop and it was Matt Donovan, Elena's ex-boyfriend. I might as well drove off once I saw his face, but I thought it would be entertaining if I messed around with him, I looked into his eyes and said, "Tell me where the French Quarter is." He gave me the directions willingly and then compelled him, "Good job! Now go sit in the highway and count to 1,000,000!" He stood up, turned around, and sat in the middle of the highway. I laughed, he was always a dick, well he always got on my nerves! Now that I had the address, I drove along the dark highway until I saw the sign reading, "Welcome to New Orleans, the town that Never Sleeps!"
